是的,今天是獸醫系新生訓練的第一天
除了要一早到系上報到,聽教授們的歡迎詞外
當然還有最重要的white coat ceremony
在典禮中,系上的教授會為我們一一披上代表著醫生的白袍
white coat ceremony對我們新生來說是很盛大的典禮
穿了白袍,唸了宣言後,我們正式成為獸醫系這個大家庭的一份子
因為這是個很盛大的典禮
所以系上也要求我們要穿著合適的衣服
陳阿君每次都說我到美國後穿衣服都很誇張
但是,當美國人說要穿正式衣服的時候
真的,如果你不想特立獨行的話,你最好是把話聽進去
因為大家真的都會穿的很正式
但我又沒辦法一整天穿高跟鞋到處跑
所以趁中午吃完飯,看過我的肺結核篩檢
我就衝回家去換衣服了
(其實事幾乎大家都衝回家去換衣服了!!)
早上的打扮
典禮的打扮
(真的,大家都回家換衣服,男生換西裝,女生換洋裝)
這屆100出頭個新生中,只有三個是來自其他國家
其實我很想說只有兩個
因為我不想承認加拿大來的也算國際學生
(誰叫他們講的語言都一樣 =''=........請原諒我的酸葡萄心態)
最後放上獸醫學生入學前都要唸的宣言
其實獸醫學生畢業時會唸另一種宣言,獸醫師的宣言(因為不再是學生了)
但那個離我還很久,等到那時再寫也不晚
